Hyper: Where is the config file stored, on Windows?

[ryancole]

I just installed on Windows. For whatever reason, I immedietly opened the config file, via the File menu, and saw that there was a setting to specify which shell to use. I typed in powershell and saved. Now hyperterm fails to bring up any shell, etc.

Where is this config file stored? I need to undo that change.

@ryancole It is stored in the default user directory : C:\Users\{userName}\.hyper.js . Just edit it and point to direct powershell path : C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0. ( You need to use double slashes to escape the control characters.)

Thanks!

Also I found that the '--login' shell argument prevents powershell from opening. Try removing it and open the terminal again.

Looks like in hyper 3 the default location has changed to C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Roaming\Hyper. Just wanted to make note of that in case others run into same issue

Could anybody update the new path for windows in the guide? (https://hyper.is/)
Currently this is shown: $Env:AppData/Hyper/.hyper.js

Hi there, IMHO the new configuration location hardens its location and user backup. It is a quite annoying directory for a so important file. Why not something more obvious directory such as the previous C:\Users\USER\.hyper.js or C:\Users\USER\.hyper\hyper.js?

My C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming directory is 428MB. I don't think this is a "configuration" directory that I have to backup. If I want to move to a new environment is very annoying to locate every application configuration directory. I don't think Windows (or at least its applications) works or respect something like Linux XDG Base Directory Specification. So then, maybe the old-fashioned $HOME/.someappconfig would be more convenient. IntelliJ and many other software is doing it that way (I'm in favour of Linux XDG directory spec anyway, but not on Windows).

@ryancole As Hyper 3 changed the config location, would it be possible to re-open the issue someway?

P.S. I'm just a newcommer to Hyper, and all I can say is 😍 😍 😍
